ODDS
Game
This one is a game of contrast and boy will it be fun. The Huskies come from the PAC 12 where we all know they love to throw the ball. Michael Penix, a six-year 23-year-old QB transfer from Indiana has been nothing but spectacular at Washington. In two tears at Washington, he has thrown for 9,289 yards, with 9 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions in the last five games, he has been nothing but consistent. They like to throw and they do it well. On the other side, you have a Wolverine team that prefers to run, likes to run, and do that very well. Take the game against Penn ST this season when they just ran, ran and ran again and they never stopped it. Michigan also has the No. 1 defense in the country in points against (10.2 ppg) and yards against (243.1 yards per game), what a battle. A few mor of the numbers;
Michigan Wolverines (14-0, 8-5-1 ATS)
Washington Huskies (14-0, 7-6-1 ATS)
Washington is 21-0 straight up over the school’s past 21 games
Michigan has been favored in all 14 games this season and won every one of them.
The total has exceeded 50 points in 13 of Washington’s 14 games this season.
All this being said I am taking the Huskies as they also have a really good defense and that office is just explosive, the likes Michigan has not seen all season. I believe the Huskies can handle the run that will turn Michigan to the pass and Washington will win in a shootout as they know how to do. Take the Huskies and the +165
Props
Jack Westover, TE, WAS, Over 26.5 receiving yards (-110)
The attention that Michigan will pay to Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk and Jalen McMillan, The Huskies’ tight end is in good position to shine and get a few more balls his way. The Wolverines also enter in the top five in both pressure rate and Defensive Line Havoc Rate meaning Pnix may be getting rid of the ball a bit quicker and in Westover’s direction. For these reasons I see at least a 30 ard night, take the over and the money!
Michael Penix Jr. Under 0.5 interceptions (+175 at DraftKings)
Penix has been one of the best at not turning the ball over, so this one to me is tempting to take the under. Penix has thrown just nine picks all season and put up a zero in the interception column six times. In his last five games 9 TDs to 2 INTs. This all is due as well to the offensive line of the Huskies that gives Penix ample time to throw the ball. This and his experience will make him mistake-free once again. Take the under and the money.
